Return

OPERATION

Before operating, be sure the BEFORE OPERATION INSPECTION is done and that you are familiar with the controls.

Before operating and attempting to operate unit review warnings and controls section of this manual. Know how to stop unit before operating.

1. Connect the battery, if not connected.

2. Remove blocks from drive wheel.

3. Remember that pushing down on the steering control handle will release the brake, and this should be avoided until ready to move unit.

4. Turn the key to the "ON" position.

5. Put your hands on the steering handle and press down (not all the way). This will release the brake and make power available to the drive motor.

Move and transport materials that have been properly and evenly loaded in as low a position as possible. Travel in a direction of maximum visibility.

This information does not include all possible conditions you can find. The purpose of this information is to give you the basic information you need to operate the unit.

If you are a new operator learning about this unit, operate in a clear area at slow speed.

SAFETY WHEN YOU WORK

Be a careful operator, you can prevent accidents.

Read the following information:

Before you operate the unit, check steering control, brake, instruments, and equipment hydraulic controls. If you know there is a malfunction, a missing part, or a part that needs adjustment, stop unit immediately and correct problem. Continued operation during these conditions can cause an accident or injury.

BATTERY RETAINMENT/CARE

DO NOT allow alkaline solution to fall in the Battery Cell. This will result in a dead or weak cell.

IF ACID contacts your skin, eyes, or clothing, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water and contact a physician.

DO NOT attempt to recharge a frozen Battery; this may cause it to rupture or explode. DO NOT attempt to recharge the Battery in an area of sparks or near an open flame.

This unit uses a 24 volt wet cell Battery.

Proper care and servicing of the battery is vital to assure satisfactory operation and lift of your BT Prime-Mover electric truck. Battery acid is, of course, extremely corrosive and should be kept off or washed off the machine as any spillage occurs. The battery should always be kept in a charged state. An overly discharged battery will cause a number of operational difficulties in any electric truck. The battery charge should be checked first if any electrical difficulties occur.

In cases of a battery not taking a charge, make sure that the charger is being attached to the battery connector and not to the connector on the unit. A battery which does not take a proper charge should be referred to the battery manufacturer's representative for service.

IMPORTANT

Use only batteries that meet the following specifications:

VOLTAGE Minimum Battery Weight Maximum Battery Weight

24 (consult nameplate on unit) (consult nameplate on unit)

VOLTAGE Minimum Battery Weight Maximum Battery Weight

For other industrial battery sizes, provide blocking to restrain the battery from moving not more than .50 inches or 12.7 mm in any horizontal direction.

Return

BATTERY RETAINMENT/CARE

Make sure that battery is bolted in place before operating unit.

BATTERY SERVICE

DO NOT SERVICE BATTERY UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED BATTERY ACID CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND INJURY OR DEATH.

ADDING WATER

On a routine basis after every 50 hours of operation, remove the Battery Vent Caps and inspect the Electrolyte level. The water in the Electrolyte Solution evaporates at high temperatures or with excessive charging rates. The level should be to the bottom of the Filler Neck, if NOT, replenish to the proper level with distilled water.

CLEANING TERMINALS & CABLE CONNECTIONS

The top of the Battery MUST BE KEPT CLEAN. Tighten the Vent Caps and clean the Battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water). After the foaming has stopped, flush top of Battery with clear water. If Terminals and Cable clamps are corroded, disconnect the Cables and clean them with the same alkaline solution.

FIELD MODIFICATIONS

The regulations imposed by OSHA make it mandatory that alteration on industrial trucks be done only as approved in advance and in writing by the manufacturer. These regulations apply to counterweighting, change in masts when such changes affect capacity and any other safety modifications. It is mandatory that nameplates and instructions be changed accordingly (1910.178 (a)(4)).

BT Prime-Mover will approve such changes requested as we can properly evaluate and rerate as to capacity. Normally a change will be evaluated upon receipt of a written request with full particulars including truck and mast serial numbers, proposed changes, new heights of lift, etc.

If the change is approved, authorization will be sent will new nameplates or other labeling where appropriate. The nameplates should be installed over the earlier nameplate.

The modifier should send confirmation of the change to the factory along with pictures of the revised truck.
